I was inspired more by early Bette Midler. I do wear a fancy dress and very high heels - and extra high hair. My goal is to obliterate all earnestness.

More quotes by Ana Gasteyer
I'm so bad at spontaneous impressions.
Ana Gasteyer
There are different kinds of actors, and movie actors tend to be exceedingly precise and mechanical in a way that's really admirable for me to watch. You always learn from them.
Ana Gasteyer
I like anything with a live audience. I love sitcom work. I hope it comes back in fashion because I really love it. I love single-camera work, too, but in a different way than that live-audience thing, which is really exciting.
Ana Gasteyer
I'd like to say that parody is a celebration of a person's specific characteristics, as opposed to mockery.
Ana Gasteyer
I always tried not to be too mean, but my problem is that the people I tend to find hilarious don't usually have senses of humor. So interacting with them is a little bit of an awkward engagement, because I can't really make them laugh, on top of which I've been doing an impression of them.
Ana Gasteyer
I've always lived in a city.
Ana Gasteyer
I'm a liberal inside a liberal's body.
Ana Gasteyer

Ana Gasteyer
I'm friends with a lot of actresses, but my 'SNL' friends are my closest. The experience of working there is something of a battleground, a great one, but complicated. I think there's a deep connection for having survived that workplace.
Ana Gasteyer
You know, once somebody knows you can sing Elphaba, it's like being able to sing Evita - people shut up about it already.
Ana Gasteyer
I'm very social, and in a place like New York, even if you're alone on the subway, you never feel lonely.
Ana Gasteyer
I've done a ton of theater work and dramatic work, but nobody really knows me that way.
Ana Gasteyer
Be tenacious. Get as much stage time as possible.
Ana Gasteyer
Comedy's been really liberating for me because I've been able to sneak the singing part in through the back door.
Ana Gasteyer
I'm married but the special man is my dog, Henry.
Ana Gasteyer
I'm not a standup, but I play one on TV.
Ana Gasteyer
It's definitely like being in some weird sorority. I'm friends with a lot of actresses, but my 'SNL' friends are my closest.
Ana Gasteyer
I played Liddy Dole last year and met her as well. From the artful way she phrased it, I still don't know if she had actually seen me play her. She made it sound like it was good, but that's just a gift they have.
Ana Gasteyer
Writers tend to hate recurring characters there's this writer snob thing about it. But I don't have that. I feel like the challenge is always to find a cool and innovative way to do it and, obviously, to not repeat your jokes.
